Like a mother cat being gentle with its baby kittens.

Love that the 650 was straight dragged out! He wasn't even turning his tracks like the 750 had been!

I like heavy equipment. The operator is a very good skill. Very good engine sound. Thank you from Japan.

The dozers were thinking, "Why do we hear boss music?"

*Wow, this excavator video is simply amazing! I was so mesmerized by the skillful way the operator handled the machine*

two of the best dozer operators ive ever seen. engines must of been getting hot so they thought they'd cool them off in the water

that guy running the big thing is an artist

This is quite an interesting and informative video. Are you the type of person who will read as much as possible about potential investments and ask questions about them? If so, maybe you don't need investment advice. But if you're busy with your job, kids, or other responsibilities, or feel like you don't know enough about investing on your own, then you may benefit from professional investment advice.

Brilliant video....The operator in the 345CL..... was awesome! Great to see people know how to do things well! He's a credit to his company!

Guy in the 345 is a hero in my eyes. Give him mad props! That second truck was in so deep I thought there was no way... I thought he was gonna be burried alive for sure. An uplifting video in all senses of the term.

Good thing you had a skilled 345CL operator there !!! Well done

That excavator operator is worth every penny he's paid and more. Not all heroes wear capes.

The precision work with that bucket! It looks like he could safely picked up kittens. Bravo.

I had no idea that an excavator was so strong. That second one was pulled out with no help at all from the dozer. Impressive.

I'm always amazed at how much can be done with and by these big pieces of equipment by the Talented Machine Operators. GOOD JOB!!! 🤔😮😁👍🤗😋

Notice how the baby calves patiently waits for their mother to free them from being mired. And note the joyful freedom as they totter away, once again under their own power.

Considering the slope and the apparent soil conditions was putting that piece of equipment to the task at hand a very good idea?

Didn't realize who I was watching until I saw the Arch in the background. Glad you boys got them out.

Excellent understanding within the team

All that skill and a sense of humor

John, good observation, but I would like to point out 2 things. 1, the grouser height on that excavator is pretty low, so the damage to the road is minimal. 2, the operator knows it's not the best practice to drive on the road, and that is why he intentionally did not rotate the tracks at all.

One of the most beautiful vids i have seen Gentle and yet so powerful.

The sheer POWER of hydraulic force! Amazing example of mankind's ingenuity. I love this.

How did he not bust those rams off at the blade.....??? He's got the right touch on that excavator.

That guy running the 345 is a real pro. One wrong move on the controls and he would have done some serious damage to the dozers he was pulling out. Nice job, fella!

Seems weird seeing this while the traffic goes past. If this was in the UK.. Firstly, as the dozers worked there'd have been 5 miles of cones along the road and a 40 limit with average speed cameras. Then to retrieve them, a site set up with a 2mph speed limit, full PPE required to enter, a risk assessment every hour, dangly orange flags off every electricity wire or phone line within 2km, then before any rescue could take place a 3 month wait while the RSPCA try and catch any endangered reptiles in buckets along a specially setup plastic fence by the water.

I was afraid the second dozer was going to roll over, the angle on it was so steep, scared the crap out of me. No escaping if it had. Much respect to all of those operators!

goes to show. better than the rest. not just lego. awesome. dingo dancing. :)))))

Props to the excavator operator, handled perfectly!

so cute! big papa teaching kids flying by themselves!

I've worked i a rock quarry going on two years. we have cat 775 haul trucks. We had volvo a 40s. I love the cats!!!

That 345 is a beauty. 👍

I did not realize that excavators were so strong. It pulls the dozers like they were made of paper. Very cool. And the way he gently did it was a very skilled operator. I'm impressed!

Props to the operator of the excavator. He made that look easy.

verry good operator🎉nice job😮

What a mess and a massive undertaking!!!👍👍👍👍👍

Just goes to show the strength of the rams that they were able to take that pressure without the blade being pulled off it! Great machines.

Man's machines are so damn impressive!

NOTHING RUNS BETTER THEN A CAT.

That's cool as hell that guy knows what he is doing

The 345CL operator had his skills and precision in order :D Fantastic!! :D

Very cool video, my 3 year old son loves excavators and we both enjoyed watching this rescue

We had a 245 on site in North Gadsden building a cell site that last week there I got to run it and I had a blast .. that 345 is a SERIOUS machine ....

It's amazing how powerful a 345 is! I once pulled some concrete trucks up to a foundation we were pouring with a 245, which I believe is just an older 345. I'm not an operator, but we also owned the development company on the site and I had CAT keys, so when it started pouring down rain 5 minutes before the concrete trucks got there I went and tracked up the 245 a couple lots to pull them up the hill to the forms. These front discharge concrete trucks were nothing for that 245! I accidentally pulled a couple of them up in the air and they were WAY pissed off, LOL. Honestly, one driver wanted to beat my ass! I was only 22-23 and was doing my best, but I was yanking them around like toys. Good thing the foundation guys had my back! I was nervous as hell and was trying to help, but scared at the same time. It was really stupid, but we finished the pour in a storm and no one got hurt and didn't break anything. Would have been 70 yards gone if I wouldn't have jumped in and did it. Never will forget how effortlessly that machine pulled them up the hill. On top of that, it had a huge high yard bucket on it for loading up off-road trucks, that that made it a little more difficult. I kept apologizing to the truck drivers and the foundation crew forman told the drivers to shut the hell up and told me to keep going, they'll live, LOL.

I don't know much about heavy equipment, but it looked like the guy operating the second Deere wasn't helping very much with his machine,,, the excavator was pulling him with the tracks Sliding,,, That must be one Powerful son of a gun,,, Thanks for the Video,,, I really enjoyed it !!!

now that's what i call a teamwork good job 👍

Always choose cat For heavy works and the Operator is really good Amazing job!!!

Begging the question - htf did they get there in the first place?

What a crazy idea to run the dozers on that slope in the first place - all bank work could (and should) have been done from the hardtop using the digger. From the look of the ground it looks like a good storm would wash the banks away - how long before the whole road ends up in the drainage canal???

Great to watch!.. it's always nice to be bailed out with out problems when you have had a lapse in judgement good work

Big daddy like dont come to work without going to school😂

John Deere needs to go back to the drawing board add some pontoons on their dozers 😆

That can't be good for those dozers!

Man!! Now that is CAT at its best!! Kudo's to the operator, awesome driving there!!!

Very nice Video

*Perfect job. Respect for the workers*

That 650 looks like a toy compared to that 345!

Interesting video! All three guys did a great job in salvaging the dozers not just the excavator operator. He did a great job too but from a more comfortable position: high and dry and with apparently much more power in his machine. I always wonder why people continue working under these circumstances of mud and steep ramps.You may be killed if the dozer doesn't just slide into the mud but tumbles down.

Crane operators a master all right.

muy bueno que bien maneja la maquina good work ,,, saludos desde mexico thanks for share this video ,,

im not in the construction industry but it seems just like the military, everybody is constantly talking shit about other operators and having a pissing contest.

Good example of a experienced operator nice job guys

this makes me wonder just how much real world experience those dozer operators actually have.

Cat 345 is one serious excavator, drawbar pull is 75,920 lbs its maximum bucket lift is about 21,000 LBS.

glad to see someone else who respect the talent of the operators

This actually happened to me operating a D6R in wet blue clay. My machine fell through the crust and my buddy came with our other D6Tlgp and got stuck trying to get me out. Took our big Volvo shovel to get us both out of the slime hole ( and another 2 hours power washing out the tracks and greasing the 6 way blade )

Damn! I feel sorry for the guy who has to clean out those tracks

Just goes to show the power of a CAT 345 man it slide that dozer like a toy. 👍

love the guy with the shovel to clean up the road!

Haven't even looked at the comments yet but I bet there's a bunch of EXPERTS here.

Thank you for saving tha two dozers good joob!👍👍👍

That equipment on asphalt sure messes it up. Very good question Gordon.

Excellent video. Congratulations to the crane operator and two more injured operators. Greetings from Chile!

The Cat comes to the rescue for the the Deere's.....backhoes doe come in handy....lol.

I had to pull out a D6 with a 349 once. It was buried past the tracks. Was fun....but had to clean a big mess.

That was funny when he asked, can you swim. I would of told him only on Thursday.

I bet thats Todd Hoffman and Dozer Dave. Parker in the excavator.

most people do not realize what it takes to be a good operator. this guy in the excavator showed everyone what it really means. a lot of boredom a lot of talent, a lot of talent

*dozer operator 1*Hold my beer, I'm going in hot *Dozer 2* I gotcha Hank *Ex guy* STOP FUKN AROUND BOYZ

This cat machine is incredible

the old man has a prefect touch,great job

What happens when a big Cat get's hold of a little Deere? This is like the mechanical version of Wild Planet.

I loved running a 345 cat. Pulling that last one with the swing motor shows how much power a 345 has.

Time to send those 2 operators of those dozers to driving school. You never, never leave a machine like that in a ravine, guess what, shiit happens and always prepare for it.

It's always cool to see someone that is good at their job at work. Very good excavator operator!

Grandpa in that excavator knows his machine. Quick and efficient. Good job!

I have operated that track hoe and the 365 and 385c ! They are awesome machines ! So strong 💪 !

NOTHING STAYS LIKE A DEER! 😆 LOL

Good operator on the trackhoe, just remember, when you see your machine going down, STOP and put in in reverse don't keep going. And most people that pull machines out use heavy cables, don't ever try a chain unless that's all you have

great video enjoyed it very much the 345cl made it look easy! only thing I was wondering about if the hydraulics on the blades would stand all that pulling on them

A cat saved a deer. It's cool watching heavy machinery grunting around.

I didn't know it was possible to have two Carles working at the same joint.

Aí atolou com vontade mesmo... Direto do Brasil assistindo, adorei o vídeo parabéns meu ídolo!!!!

Technology is amazing and powerful. I can barely get out of bed on Saturdays. These things weigh several tons and get out. Amazing.

Good job Mr Opretor

It's funny when you see Cat machines helping out other machines in need. As a undercarriage tech for Caterpillar and mechanic. We get a lot of non-cat machines that get brought in for work because their own mechanics don't know how to work on them.. Especially with John Deere

Impressed by how the excavator drug the second dozer. The dozer wasn’t moving his tracks letting 345 do it all. Crazy power.

Somebody is going to be spending a long time in the wash bay.

WOW ! OMG ! Amazing Excavator CAT

Woo.Thank you for your videos.
